Re: PMD 4:1 brand new split
Welding is def a last option because its such a critical alignment and so thin you'd have to be a super experienced welder to get it aligned correctly and not burn through it.
As IH said earlier I think it was machined to thin as well but didn't want to put my neck out there, seeing as I'm still a novice machinist compared to him but if he says so then I'd have to agree, for the reasons I mentioned in the earlier post about the force that's put on it. it id not a ton but enough that I'd have left a thicker base area right at the plate itself if not the entire bearing cap to avoid fatiguing the metal.
